6. Kris Statlander - AEW TBS Championship

Selecting the one star who will end a history-making reign must be a challenge. Kris Statlander being the one to topple Cargill for the TBS Championship was unanimously agreed upon by fans as a good decision. She was a known AEW entity, returning from an injury, and ready to claim a new place on the card for herself.

By the nature of all of this, Statlander gets easy points for refreshing the belt after Cargill's reign of dominance. With more in-ring experience, she was able to have matches that were on the whole longer and more competitive, as well as defend it against a different selection of stars.

Moreover, the reign didn't overstay its welcome. Instead of replicating what came before, Statlander used her time with the TBS Championship well before dropping it to Julia Hart.
